Default WTB: Tein CS coilovers

The shop I ordered these from will not have them in until the end of this month. My bodykit install will be done in a few days. Anyone have a gently used set to sell?

I don't know if the ride is much stiffer. Talking from experience, the Flex handles much better but is a controled feel. The stock suspension has a lot of body roll. very Boat like feel. Many people here on the forum say that the ride is stiff but I think not. The ride feels great and is comfortable. Besides, you dont want a ride that is softer than stock, otherwise, what is the use of changing your suspension? Overall the ride quality of the flex is much more desirable in the aftermarket point of view. THe only draw back is the metal upper pillar mounts which may rattle against your body during extreme road conditions. Don't take my word for it, just do your own research and see for yourself.

OK guys. I know the intentions were good but let's not turn this ad into a Flex vs CS discussion. There are already plenty of those. If you are inclined, followup in those threads or even open a new one for a fresh discussion. This is still a classifieds ad.

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice but I already did the research that was available to me on the forum and decided to go all the way with the CS's. It looks like another fellow member is going to be able to help me out with these.
